I seem to have found a button or other switch that when a browser window is called, it opens minimized. This is new, just this last week. Anyone know what I need to do to correct this.

Assuming you have Explorer:
add/remove programs, select IE 5.5 (don't worry it won't uninstall but will bring up another menu, choose repair option, if this does not work reinstall the the browser.

did both and it still does not work right. A difference now is that the links do not work at all.

Still happening as minimized, even after trying both suggestions. Thanks but no cigar !

Go to Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced --> Restore Defaults --> Apply --> OK

Close and open again. Should start normally . If not, then please report your browser version.

Right click on the icon you use to open the browser. Choose PROPERTIES from the menu that should pop up. On the SHORTCUT tab, look at the RUN box. It should say 'Minimized'. If so, click on the down arrow on the right side of the box and choose 'Normal Window'.

If this is not the case, you have another problem. You may have to do this for each icon you use to open this browser.

Open your browser window. Maximise it. Now close it while holding down Control. Next time you open it, it should open maximised.
